Tutorial on How to remove all unwanted apps in Mi/Poco phones!!

 Xiaomi phones do provide us with the best value phone but this comes with a compromise. Some lower end Mi/Redmi/Poco phones come with a lot of preinstalled apps with some which we can't even uninstall.

So here's an easy guide with the help of which you can remove all the bloatware (including GetApps, scanner) from your phone.

Requirements

To remove all the waste apps you just need a laptop/pc and a data cable.

Setup to be done on the phone -

1) First you need to enable USB debugging on your phone. To do so first click 6-7 times on the MIUI version on your phone .

2)Then a pop-up saying You are now a developer pops up , meaning that now you can access developer option.

3)In the Additional settings , you will now find a new option "Developer Options" , click on it.

4)In it, you will see a toggle for USB debugging , just enable it.

Setup to be done on the PC

1) In order to remove junk apps, we need to install 2 applications which i have provided below  ( Note that the Xiaomi ADB is common between windows, mac , linux but the .jar file is different for all 3)-

.jar file - Windows , Mac , linux

Xiaomi ADB -ADB file

2) After downloading both the files, you have to install .jar file which is a very straight forward process.

3) After installing .jar file, connect you phone to your PC using your data cable. Select the file transfer option on your phone after connecting the cable.

4) After connecting the phone, open the Xiaomi ADB application.

 Here you will see a list of applications installed on your phone. 

5) Select all the applications you want to remove and then click on uninstall.

Voila!! All the unwanted apps are gone. 

6) Also there is a list of all the uninstalled apps, so if the phone doesn't work properly after removing the apps, it means you have removed an important application.

Here is a list of applications you can remove -

Cleaner

GetApps

Mi Calender

Mi cloud

Mi credit 

Mi drop

Mi Pay

Mi share

Music

Do note that after updating your phone, these apps will return, so i would recommend you not to remove this software from your machine. It would hardly take a few seconds to remove these apps later on. 

OnePlus is back??

 As we all know, Oneplus used to be the most loved brand by tech enthusiasts as it used to provided us with the best features for the lowest possible price but this hasn't been the case from the last few years as Oneplus constantly increased their pricing and now is directly fighting with the big dogs of this smartphone market. 

With this they are defineitely making more profit which is good for them as a company, but what about their enthusiast fans? They just let slip the public which made them what they are? 

Well this had been the case for the last 2 years but after seeing the rumours of nord 2 floating around, it looks like oneplus does care about their enthusiast fan base.

With the nord 2, Oneplus is again hoping to conquer the upper midrange market which recently is dominated by the best value providers - Mi , realme , iqoo. Seeing this competition , Oneplus has a very very tough competition and would be very difficult for a brand to make a name, but as oneplus has been here now for quite a few years now, everyone is eagerly waiting for the launch of the Nord 2.

Nord 2 is said to be equipped with a 6.55 in FHD+ Samoled 120Hz display (probably taken from the oneplus 8t/9R). Powering this display is a mediatek dimensity 1200 AI which performs closer to snapdragon 870 if not better.

The place where brands compromise in this price range is the camera's and thankfully the camera setup on the nord looks good( atleast on paper). It's said to come with a primary 50MP sony IMX766 camera taken directly form the oneplus 9 series. Also it will get a decent sized 4500 mAh battery with support for fast charging upto 65W.

The pricing as leaked by a Tipster on twitter suggests that the price for base variant (8+128) is going to be 29999 rupees, which if turns out to be true, would be a great pricing. It will directly compete with Mi 11x , Iqoo 7 , Poco F3 gt. Considering the brand value of Oneplus and the clean UI which they provide, it clearly looks like Oneplus has a chance to make a comeback in this price range.
